Cincinnati: Mauk's The Man

After several weeks of awkwardly dancing between two potential starting quarterbacks, Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly finally has his man. Senior Ben Mauk will be the guy, despite his surgically repaired right shoulder, and it's a good thing too - Mauk is watching the clock tick away on his collegiate football career and he's been confident in his ability to take over the offense for some time now. It was only a matter of bringing Kelly around to his point of view, and it looks las week's brilliant performance has allowed the 6-foot-1, 200-pound QB to finally bring Kelly into Camp Mauk.

Cincinnati: Mauk Debate

Cincinnati quaterback Ben Mauk has made it very clear to anyone who wants to know that surgically repaired right shoulder or no, he has no intention of sitting out any more games. The senior did plenty of sitting last season, when an injury in the season's first game kept him out for the rest of the season as a junior at Wake Forest. In his new digs at Cincinnati, Mauk earned himself the starting job, only to lose it again for the past two weeks due to soreness in that right shoulder. But given the option, sitting out this weekend's game against San Diego State is not on Mauk's list of things to do.
